While there he set up a religious movement in the villages to the south and east of the city as well as in the district of the Sunderbunds.

He devoted spare time to revising the scriptures in Bengali and to training local preachers.

During 1842–3 he spent time in Switzerland, France, and England, publicising his mission work, particularly in Geneva.

Their children included Hana Catherine, who married the missionary Joseph Mullens.

She grew up fluent in Bengali and did notable work in the zenana missions to women living in seclusion.
